Stench pipes in Lambeth

According to the current SLAS newsletter Lambeth Council are to preserve two stench pipes in Norwood. I am not sure what and if we have any in Greenwich. Perhaps we should all look and see - such things are only too easily lost.

This is taken from the current edition of the excellent newsletter of the Southwark and Lambeth Archaeological Society. It also contains an article about the Greenwich Tide Mill recently discovered at Lovells Wharf. We would be happy to scan this and reproduce it here if SLAS wouldn't object.

SLAS meetings are held at 106 The Cut, 7.30 and future events include:October 13th - Recent Excavations at Merton Priory10th November - work on Syon House and its BrigintineMonastry8th December - Music and Musicians in Southwark and Lambeth9th February - The Elephant Entertains

They also note5th October - Malcolm Tucker and Tim Smith speaking about Kings Cross Railway Goods Yard at the Rugby Tavern, Rugby Street, W1. 8.00 - both Tim and Malcolm have spoken to GIHS and this is an amazing subject. Highly recommended
